Word is proprietary pox and like pox, it has infected many ;-) But it can run on Linux, either with CrossOver or even in a browser from M$. Obviously I would direct people to LibreOffice as much as possible, but some people remain wedded to Microsoft and no amount of convincing will change their mind.
